    Hell of a first post! Any reason why you landed on 1835?

    Here are three families from 1956, two of which are waiting for the return of their nickels (who are on an extended vacation away from home).













    Beautiful Coins! This is a very special year to me! I wasn't around yet but someone very special was born this year who we lost.

    Thank you for asking about my set! I have read these boards for a while and it seemed like a good opportunity for a first post. I picked 1835 because it includes all denominations and has no rarities, which is surprisingly unusual among earlier sets. I write a little more about this on my Registry page. Pics are still seller images so some are good and some poor. But the Digital Album view is a pretty good representation of how the set looks in hand.

    Very cool, welcome aboard!
